Participation in a local support group, access to a brochure or online information about a suspected or already diagnosed condition, tools to aid in their recovery, and a staff ready to answer questions can each be the difference between hope and despair, life and death, for someone living with a mood disorder. We are proud to say that we reach millions of people each year with the life-changing and life-saving support they need.
